Vegetable Cross-Pollination Guide

Below is a table of what vegetable crops will cross-pollinate with other plants.

It should be noted that vegetable varieties will cross-pollinate easily with other varieties of the same plant (eg. Carrot ‘St. Valery’ will cross pollinate with Carrot ‘Scarlet Nantes’). That information is not included in the table because it should be assumed.
